This paper presents an investigation into the shearing behaviour of th
e fine-blanking and bar cropping processes through their experimental
performance. In this study, an individual set of tooling was designed
and fabricated to carry out experiments for each type of metal cutting
process. In order to investigate the phenomena of the shearing behavi
our and effects during the cutting operation, certain equipment was em
ployed to examine some major parameters, i.e. the surface finish, hard
ness distribution, etc. Furthermore, macro-examination was also carrie
d out to study other parameters, such as clearance and portion of frac
ture. During the operations, all numerical data collected via experime
nts are based on a system of measurement known as 'Figures of Merit' p
roposed by Organ and Mellor [1]. Consequently, it is expected to obtai
n some reliable findings which make it possible to judge which of the
two can produce the better quality metal parts and cheaper components.
